The Dying of the Light

October 05, 2021

Standing against the heralds of corruption, the Lightpact once carried the hopes of all Verrans on their shoulders. Their flames would ultimately be dashed on the rocks of betrayal and destruction. Corruption, death, and evil now grasp and consume the light that once led the way. With the re-emergence of the Divine Gates, will the beacon of faith be set ablaze once more?

The Dying of the Light cosmetic add-ons will be available in the Ashes of Creation shop from October 6, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific until November 3, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific. Don’t forget that The Coliseum’s Favored addons will be removed on October 6, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific when the new cosmetics swap over.

Cloak of the Broken Pact

Accessory Cosmetic Skin *

This flowing silken mantle of the Lightpact inspired hope in all those that caught a glimpse of them during the terrible final days of Verra. Fighting tirelessly against the pressing darkness, the fluttering capes were often the last rays of light seen before escaping to safety. Tragically, it was only the cloak itself that was recovered after the finishing blows were felled.

Ruined Gargoyle

Pet Cosmetic Skin *

Aelan fortresses were often bedecked with gargoyles out of ancient tradition, with their formidable walls and towers standing as a last defense against darkness. While gruesome, few truly believed the works of stone could ward off evil spirits or strike fear in the heart of a superstitious adversary. Thus, it was an act of twisted irony that the enemy empowered these stolid statues and turned them against the hosts of these keeps.

Graveyard Golem

Mount Cosmetic Skin *

Those who have seen this hulking behemoth say it is as if the cemetery itself rose from the dead to tread unhallowed ground. Singular in purpose and terrible in execution, the golem knows only the expressed will of its creator. Only a few could fathom the powerful necromantic energies necessary to accomplish such a desecration, and fewer still could actually achieve it.

Vestiges of the Steel Bloom

Costume Cosmetic Skin *

Formed by the wise Aelan queen as she foresaw the impending darkness, the Order of the Steel Bloom consisted of specially selected knights strong of heart and valor. The Order was essential in carrying out nigh impossible endeavors of critical import during the last days of Verra, under the direction of the beloved and revered Lady of the Rose. When the Divine Gates opened, at great personal risk to her own safety, the queen ordered her protection to leave her side and make haste to the Brighthold to ensure the success of the Lightpact’s crucial mission. The Order would not return from the command.

Highwind Interceptor

Naval Cosmetic Skin *

Built during the height of the Aelan Empire, the royal interceptor was commonly the only force that stood between defenseless merchant vessels and the marauding corsairs of the middle sea trade lanes. In local port taverns, solaced traders would recount their stories of witnessing coordinated pairs of courageous sloops ride the winds and bring to bear potent justice against would-be assailants. No troubled sailor ever forgot the miraculous night when beams of light suddenly pierced the darkness and razor-like sails slashed through clouds of mist, interposing themselves between raiders and prey.

House of Beckoning Flame

Freehold Large House Building Cosmetic Skin *

The Aelan Empire built many towering sentinels to ward against the dangers of the unending ocean. Tall and noble, none could imagine a time when their strength would be insufficient to protect the tranquil shores. The corruption that came claimed both land and sea, awakening and empowering the infernal malevolence lying in wait. To this day, none are certain whether the light in the tower directed the path to safety, or beckoned the way to destruction.
